Oregon coasting

Captains George Vancouver, James Cook, Robert Gray, Bruno Heceta, as well as Lewis and Clark. All among the earliest explorers to experience the weather of the Pacific Northwest. This explains the names they left behind like Cape Foulweather, Dismal Nitch, Cape Disappointment, Deception Pass.

But this weekend when Sis and I took a drive down the Oregon Coast, the weather was delightful. This photo is the sunset on the sand of Gleneden Beach:

This rock pile is loaded with Oregon slugs harbor seals:

And finally, this exciting discovery brought to you exclusively by the Back Nine! If you are interested in this year’s symposium there’s still time to sign up:

    I love the first picture sooo much, gorgeous lighting, you should make it poster size, frame it and enter it in something.
    I have got to get up that way someday, but I’m afraid I might not ever leave.
    I like the wet, can’t stand wind anymore…..want out of this state so bad I could taste it….someday when I do get up that way I’ll email, and beg you to be my tour guide K?

    I’ve been up your way. Once lived in Portland for a while. It is truly some of the most beautiful scenery in the world but I can’t stand all the wet. I need my sunshine. Hence, I am a California girl. How do you stand so much rain?? I’ll have occasion to be in Seattle in the not too distant future and I’m already wondering if I can find my raincoat. I’ll have to search deep in the back of the closet…….And umbrella? What’s that?
